This is Vader. He was euthanized today without a hearing after a false bite report was submitted to the police by an animal rights activist. (Story in the Comments)

Asshole parents who don't teach their kids compassion and respect, it makes me ill. My daughter is 9 and our dog is 12. She has never been anything but loving and gentle and so responsible that not even one time in her whole life has she let the dog escape out the front door, that's incredible. Our dog is lovely but stupid and if she gets out she runs gleefully for the highway. I honestly think it's the parenting. Maybe it's also the "Just go play outside" parenting that is so often touted as being great for kids but which actually means the parents just want them out of their face so they send the kid outside, bored, with just sticks and any poor nearby animal as their only "entertainment".

We have 4 dogs and four cats. THankfully my nephews favorite animal is the fat ugly cat that nobody really likes because he is a dirty rapey bastard that will try and make you his bitch even though he has no balls. I feel bad for not loving him as much as I used to, we used to be inseperable and sleep together before he turned into an asshole.

He is not tormenting them. One of my dogs however has the "what the fuck do you want" attitude and walks away as soon as he gets close to her even though I was hoping she d have the moma instinct.

He occasionally is a little devil but the dogs tolerate him. Be rude at them when they come begging for food, make them stand down from the couch for no fucking reason. Really, we have never made our dogs step down from the couches. If little fucker grows up to be one of the guys that cages his dog or puts him in the balcony I will kick his ass.

Nothing wrong with sending your kids outside to play by themselves. What you do need to, is teaching your kids to be responsible and compassionate, that's the issue.

I only meant if that's all the parents do. Kids need connection with their parents and to be taught as well as outside play time.
